Mixing and matching a bit from both @addisonborn‘s and @bcbishop‘s ideas, but what if The Lust Experience is actually The System?

The System via Horace claims to be pushing us to self-actualization, Noah was doing the same, and in similar ways Lust is too.

Backing up to Ascension, there were a lot of questions about why we were there (and on…[Read more]

I got a rock.

Noah called my for my birthday too, back in April. Fucking stand up guy, that one

That’s a solid read @bcbishop. It also fits in with today’s FB quote from Plutarch about the kindling of the mind and taking action for oneself instead of sitting idle. I can dig it.

Lots to chew on here, Addison, and it sparked an idea that I actually hadn’t considered before. What if there is no “helmet” in the sci-fi way we’ve been thinking about it all this time?

What if The Experience itself is the helmet?

This past week we’ve seen our fellow community members do things that seem out of character. That make us distrust…[Read more]

I wish such technology actually existed, but I remain highly suspicious in the idea of “mind control” under any circumstance, much less wirelessly.

I think your theory is interesting, but barring seeing it in action myself, I think it’s at the edge of possible but not terribly probable.

Then again, I’m quite aware that I don’t have the history…[Read more]

@bcbishop

I both agree and disagree with your statements.

Yes, it is often the case that “all you can control is how you respond to events. You cannot control them directly.”

But I also believe that such a stance can often be an excuse for tossing away responsibility for something one has done. I believe it can be a way of abdicating power or…[Read more]

BUT… and this is the big one… once we accept the reality of our predicament, all normal constructs in terms of good, bad, right, wrong, and other social mores drop away. We’re liberated. We no longer feel the need to play by the rules of the fake reality The Matrix shows us, because thst world doesn’t exist at all. That’s when we have the oppor…

@larry @unseenpresence What’s funny is that one doesn’t need to stand outside to understand that we are all mice, and that one force is likely behind it all. One just needs humility… and, well, we as human beings aren’t too good at that.

This kinda goes back to something we’d been discussing previously, @larry. The only thing we can really…[Read more]

One of my strengths, which can often work against me, is that I’m an “idea guy”. I toss out ideas relentlessly to see what sticks. Most ideas are bad, but still have utility because they shake the tree.

But some…some hit the bull’s eye.

Your comparative objectivity certainly has value, coming as it does, now.

@larry

And today you suddenly sound like you’ve joined my way of looking at things. Or are at least a step closer.

I will say this: I can certainly appreciate that at this moment, I feel like I can see things a little more clearly than some others, at least, because I’ve NOT been caught up/dragged through/influenced by all of these various…[Read more]

With the appearance of Shadow @Russell on his FB page tonight:

And @Mike and his (more than usually) oddball behavior, and our early concerns regarding the appearance of “Shadow People”, how people were not believing you, (and not believing Mike had gone nuts and kidnapped Russell), or the Briarberg is a lie…[Read more]
